Random! lol You thinking of getting your first or something??
Forum Discussion
Me personal take on getting a tattoo is..
If you get one.. It should have a personal meaning for you..Have a story to it..have it perhaps, symbolize something for you..
Because once you decide to get it.. It is basically permanent on you..(ie.. i realize they can be removed or changed but it is bothersome & difficult to say the least)
Names in general are typically not a good idea unless they are your kids names..
But overall..get one..Make it personal to yourself & more than likely, you will never regret it..!!
Personally speaking..My story & meaning..my tat is my "divorce dragon"
i got my only tattoo after I got divorced..it was a Chinese dragon with the ying & yang symbol as its heart..
put-on my right arm..
I was born in the year of the dragon & the ying & yang represented my quest for balance in my life at the time after my divorce..!!
Now after almost 15 yrs I am considering perhaps another tattoo sleeve on my left arm now (symmetry)
Of what exactly..that is my personal dilemma at the moment..
FYI.. My ex saw my tattoo a fews years afterwards & jokingly said we might not have gotten divorced if I had that tattoo..??
Then I explained the story & she jus giggled..
Good thing I didn't get the "bugs bunny drinking w the beer mug" tattoo instead..hehe..!!??!!
